"Spelling mistakes do not bother me it the poster has made an effort. You can't all be good at everything. I find it more annoying, the people who can spell, that don't bother to read what they have written before hitting the post message button. " There's no time to read the blather before hitting the post message button - someone might get there first. | |||

"Im not too bothered with the odd spelling mistake,I make enough of them myself,postng from a phone is a nightmare sometimes too There are certain styles of grammar that I don't like but im never going to get myself in a rage worrying about it,nor will I ever put anyone down on here regarding their spelling or grammar,I find it rude and needlessly picky when people to that to others" | |||

"Trouble is, with poor use of grammar, is that it can change the meaning of your post and make you sound like an idiot even if you're not. The occasional spelling mistake I usually ignore due to typing speed / lousy spell check etc, I don't like txt speak. Save it for texting. " lol if only it was that .... life would be better for me and my kids .. | |||

"Some people pick up on spellings solely to put others down, trying to establish themselves as superior to the other. I am not bothered by the spelling particularly. I for example am quite good at spelling, I read a lot, I have a career whereby I need good communication skills. When I post on the forum I am switched off mentally to a degree. If I write their instead of there, it doesn't mean I'm an uneducated slob, it means I've just typed a work without any thought. I'm not going to go back and change it because a post on a swingers forum does not necessitate a high level of perfection. " I would agree with you - I am pretty good at spelling, know most of the time where my commas should be and generally pay attention to getting it right. On the forums (not just Fabs) I am more relaxed about formalities and dont worry or double check... | |||

"It is important to me , I dislike bad spelling or grammar as it smacks of laziness to me . Besides I profess to be a bit sticky at spelling sometimes and the spell checker sorts that or buggers it up completely !." Had you thought it might not be laziness as you put it but dyslexia and yes I suffer from dyslexia and the spell checker on my phone works well for me at times lol | |||
